Eva Bester made her debut on France Culture by collaborating on a dozen of programmes. She became a journalist for the 28 minutes programme on Arte, in which she summoned writers and texts from past centuries that resonated with current events. At the same time, she wrote portraits of writers for the magazine Transfuge and joined Le grand bain on France Inter to talk about cinema classics. She then brought "forgotten literature" up to date in the programme Ouvert la nuit.

This year, Togeth'Her® is giving carte blanche to 26 contemporary artists from all over the world by inviting them to imagine a portrait of a resolutely committed and inspiring woman on a blank cover of Madame Figaro, to mark the magazine's 40th anniversary.

 

The Ministry of Culture is undertaking work to reconfigure and fit out the work spaces on its "Bons-Enfants" site (the main location of its central administration) located at 182 rue Saint-Honoré.
